This time Xu Jiajia made great contributions.

The leader gave each of them a prize of 1,000 yuan and two jobs.

One is a machinery factory and the other is a textile factory.

Although Uncle He San was not a soldier, he was also involved in this incident, so he was also rewarded with 1,000 yuan.

His hand holding the money was shaking all the time: "One thousand yuan, this, this is too much, mom, I'm rich, I'm rich, what do you want to eat, I'll treat you."

Grandma He didn't expect the leader to be so aggressive this time, and to give a thousand at once, but thinking of the boxes of gold nuggets, she felt relieved: "There are still two works to be done. What are you going to do with these two works?"

Chen Rou first stated: "My family members all have jobs, so we don't need this."

Liu Yi has an older brother and an older sister, but they don't get along with him, so he doesn't want them either: "I don't want them either."

Xu Jiajia looked at Uncle He: "Uncle He, what about you?"

Third Uncle He was a talkative person. If he wanted something, he would just say, "I want the textile factory's work. Give it to your Third Aunt. I'll buy it with money."

Xu Jiajia thought for a moment and said, "How do you think about selling the two works for 800 yuan each and then selling them together?"

Grandma He also joined in: "Jia Jia, who of you wants a job in the machinery factory? No, I want it."

The first, second and third sons all have jobs, only the second son is still in his hometown.

Xu Jiajia knew what Grandma He was thinking, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

Two pieces cost sixteen thousand.

Seven people.

Each person is two hundred and twenty-eight.

…

Hejia Village.

When Uncle He received the urgent telegram to Kyoto, he thought that the old man had an accident there, so he immediately ran to the post office to call Kyoto.

The phone number is Xu Jiajia's unit's phone number.

After getting through.

Uncle He asked someone to call Xu Jiajia to answer the phone.

Xu Jiajia heard a familiar voice and called out, "Second Uncle."

Second Uncle He was worried about Grandma He. He opened the door and said, "Your grandmother sent a telegram asking me to go to Kyoto with your third aunt. She didn't explain the reason, and I'm worried that something happened to her."

Xu Jiajia: "Grandma is doing well. She sent a telegram to ask you to come to Kyoto because she is looking for jobs for you. Your job is a machinery factory, and my third aunt's is a textile factory. You have to report here as soon as possible."

Uncle He thought he would never have the chance to be a man in his life. Unexpectedly, when he gave up hope, he received good news: "Really?"

"It's true. Come here quickly and move your household registration out together."

"Okay, okay, I'll go buy the train ticket now."

"Let Liu Kui from the Public Security Bureau buy the tickets for you. His comrade works at the Railway Bureau, so it will be easier for him to buy tickets."

"good--"

Hang up the phone.

Uncle He was overjoyed. He rode the second-hand bicycle that He Tao bought.

The two feet stepped on the pedals, and it felt like they were stepping on cotton, light and floating.

As soon as he entered the house, he told his wife the good news: "Wife, wife, I want to be a woman.

I just called Jia Jia.

She said there were two projects, one for me and one for my third brother’s wife.”

My second aunt was shocked and couldn't believe it: "Is it true?"

Second Uncle He smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Jia Jia said the sooner the better. Go to the third room and tell the third brother's wife the good news."

The second aunt nodded: "Yes, yes, yes."

The second aunt came to the third room and told the third aunt the good news.

After hearing this, the third aunt almost jumped up in excitement. After calming down, she began to take care of the second and youngest children in the family: "Zhiyong and Zhixing are still studying. If I go, there will be no one to take care of them. Let Zhiqiang go."

Uncle He San has three sons.

Don't call him He Zhiqiang, He Zhiyong, or He Zhixing.

The oldest is twenty, the youngest is twenty-six, and the youngest is twelve.

He Zhiqiang is 20 years old and still unmarried, but he has found a partner, who is from the same village. They are childhood sweethearts. The girl is pretty, but her family is too patriarchal and she has no opinion of her own. She just does whatever her parents say, and they even ask for a high price for the bride price.

Although Uncle He is from China, he has two educated children in his family and he also wants to save money to buy a house, so he is very frugal in spending money.

When the female comrade asked for a high bride price, he almost jumped up, and shouted that having sons was a waste of money, because not only would he have to spend money to build a house for them, he would also have to spend money to marry them off, and maybe even spend money to raise grandchildren in the future.

Such a commotion.

He Zhiqiang doesn't want to get married either.

He proposed to cancel the engagement.

The woman disagreed and even tried to force He Zhiqiang to marry her, but fortunately He Zhiqiang did not fall for it.

Otherwise, if you marry that woman, your whole family will have no peace.

The news that He Zhiqiang was going to Kyoto to be a prostitute spread, and no one knew how it spread. The woman blocked him on the road and asked, "You're going to Kyoto?"

This matter cannot be kept secret, He Zhiqiang nodded and said: "Yes."

A glimmer of greed flashed across the woman's eyes, and she then grabbed He Zhiqiang's arm and said, "Let's get married, okay? I don't want a dowry."

After getting married, she can bring the work over.

He Zhiqiang shook off the woman's hand and said, "When you chose your brother, I had already given up on you. Don't say such things in the future."

The woman's face froze, and she looked at He Zhiqiang with tears in her eyes: "I haven't called off the engagement yet, you are still my fiancé."

He Zhiqiang was unmoved, and even said coldly: "It's you who don't want to retreat, if you like to drag it out, then drag it out.

When you are an old girl, it is harder to find a good partner than to climb to the sky.

I am different from you.

I am a man.

Men can find a good partner no matter how old they are as long as they are diligent. "

The woman took these words to heart and looked at He Zhiqiang with an unpleasant expression: "Do you really want to break off the engagement with me?"

He Zhiqiang was very venomous: "If you don't cancel the engagement, will you keep it for the New Year?"

The woman was so angry that she stood with her hands on her hips and glared at He Zhiqiang: "You will regret it!"

He Zhiqiang: "Let it go. Even if I stay single for the rest of my life, I won't regret it."

He Zhiqiang on the first day of his trip to Kyoto.

The engagement was cancelled.

But the compensation is fifty dollars.

…

Uncle He and He Zhiqiang have been to Kyoto.

The two were familiar with the route.

The courtyard is located in the center of the city.

Uncle He knocked on the door.

Xiao Hei heard the knock on the door and barked a few times.

The little fire fox also made a squeaking sound, and it even jumped onto the wall, looking down at the two strangers standing outside.

After making sure that the two were not dangerous, he jumped again and landed on the ground.

When Mrs. Xu heard a knock on the door, she came out and opened it. When she opened it, she saw that it was Uncle He and He Zhiqiang, and she immediately let them in.

Grandma He didn't look at her third aunt, and immediately understood what was going on: "Your mother is not coming?"

He Zhiqiang nodded: "Well, my mother said that there are two more children at home who need to go to school, so she asked me to come to work."

Grandma He thought of his girlfriend: "Where is your childhood sweetheart?"

He Zhiqiang: "She called off the engagement. When we first started talking, she was nice, but after a while, she showed her true colors. She wanted a 500 yuan gift. Back home, a marriage would cost at most 100 yuan. I don't know how she came up with that."

Grandma He guessed: "I think your father is a rich man in Kyoto.

I told you before that that woman is no good. She listens too much to her parents.

If her parents had her in their family and cared about her, I would definitely not say anything.

But her parents only have her brother, and she listens to them. If she really marries a man like that, she will be choked to death."

After the Chinese New Year.

It was nineteen seventy-seven.

The fifth day of the Chinese New Year.

Uncle He and He Zhiqiang went to the factory to report.

Complete all formalities.

They returned to the courtyard.

Uncle He still feels unreal: "Am I really a human?"

Little Star came over and said in a baby voice, "Second Uncle Grandpa is here. Second Uncle Grandpa wants to treat us. Treat us. Little Star wants to eat some fruit candy."

The third child, Shen Jiayi, ran over and said, "Little Yiyi wants to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

The fourth child, Shen Jiabo, was not far behind: "Wo, Wo wants to eat ice cream."

The fifth brother Shen Jiahuai and the sixth brother Shen Jiasi stood aside without saying a word, but their round eyes revealed everything.

Second Uncle He looked at the kids at home, bubbling with happiness. He took out ten bills and waved them, "Okay, Second Uncle Grandpa is treating us. This money is all for you."

The third child, Shen Jiayi, tilted his head and looked at the one-yuan bills. After thinking for a moment, he ran to the room, took out the storage box, and took out two bills from it and gave them to Uncle He: "Little Yiyi has some too."

Uncle He took a deep breath when he saw the money in Shen Jiayi's box. Oh my god, a little kid actually has more money than him. It was simply poverty that limited his imagination. "Jia Jia, little Yi Yi is so young. Giving her so much money, aren't you afraid that she will lose it?"
